Paracetamol exposure and asthma: What does the evidence say? An overview of systematic reviews.

There is a modest association between paracetamol exposure in-utero and the future development of asthma. Exposure in infancy has a less consistant association. All the studies done thus far are observational in nature, with their inherent biases. Further research, preferably randomized controlled trials are recommended to answer this pertinent question.
